Carpet Quote by L. Brent Bozell III
“In the chummy corridors of the liberal media establishment, no self-satisfying myth is more prevalent than the notion that there are two types of national news networks. The first is Fox, the fiendishly opinionated, Roger-Ailes-manipulated Republican Party organ. The second is the non-Fox establishment, serenely gliding above the political fray on a magic carpet of nonpartisan open-mindedness.”
About This Quote
The liberal media is portrayed as a two‑type system: Fox as partisan, and the rest as ostensibly non‑partisan, critiquing the myth of a neutral press.
In simple terms: Media is split into partisan Fox and supposedly neutral outlets, exposing a myth of objectivity.
